A few months ago we upgraded my fathers '55 to a custom set of HID projectors... They made a huge difference driving at night, so of course, I had to have a set. Not wanting to fork over the serious $$$ for someone else to make them for me, Im trying it myself :bestwishes:
I bought a set of cheap :chinese: 5.75" H4 housings. The projectors I went with are Morimoto Minis with their 35watt 5000K bulb/balast kit. (these are the same ones on my fathers car and Im really impressed with their performance)
After much cutting and fitting, they are in the 5.75" housings!
I broke the lens to the housing so Ill have to get another set to take the lenses from. Even with these "small" projectors, I had to to some major surgery to the headlight bucket and door. Ill get some pics of that tomorrow. I did get to test the light output and it is not even close to a relayed seal beam. The output and control is really fantastic.
